Kingfisher - Alcedo atthis
Canon 600mm f4.5 for 1/1250th @ iso400
There maybe any reasons for the decline of the Kingfishers on the lake, one of them may well be the number of fish and size, even this small Stickleback is hardly going to put much of a dent in the appetite of this juvenile Kingfisher. No more or not often do you see any of the birds catching the fish of decent size. Even the Herons have abandoned the lake and whilst egrets roost on the lake, at first light they are off and away.
